I guess we're still alive

Well, I very much enjoyed the journey to the end even if I don't quite love the ending. Thanks for the quality translation the whole way through (assuming this is TL and not like ripped from something)!

 

[Volcanron]

Well, what an end. Seems like it's been quite a long time since they last met, but never explicitly said which matches well to their timeframes. The end itself is a bit bittersweet, which is quite fitting for this story I suppose.

LIVE! Alright alright alright. Thanks for the series kredim!

 

[thobong]

While I feel like there are still more potentials to explore, the ending is surprisingly light and brings forth a heartwarming emotion, however bittersweet. I believe I will re-read this many times in the future.

Thank you for this quality scanlation.

 

[goro-goro]

thanks for the hard work, really wish someone continue translate "its my life" manga too to see how the story connected in the end

 

[Keykrion]

It’s been a long ride, but it was a fun one.

 

[owen3939]

Dam... this was a really nice fantasy manga that could've been so much more than it was. Thanks for the translations.

 

[elemint5]

manga authors sure know how to make me cry huh

 

[Cashini]

nice T_T thx for update

 

[talas]

Well, that was a good emotional story with a weak ending.

 

[Werebearguy]

They originally wanted to die, but in the end, they wanted to live until they died. I like this ending, and how it gives us a clear ending while also being open. Gonna miss getting giddy when a new chapter finally got translated...

 

[theredendermen]

Thanks for being here guys.

Honestly, the ending wasn't the best but I liked it none-the-less. The answer they arrived at felt natural and in character. It was a good ride, thanks for the scanlations!

did this get axed or what

did this get axed or what

I believe it was originally planned to be 6 volumes but the author decided to trim off the remaining stories for the side characters and end it with this volume. The publisher wanted to axe it back with volume 3 so he used his own money to have an animated trailer made to get enough people to buy it so he could continue. Likely didn't want to deal with them anymore
The missing side stories are probably related to the "nations" the two main characters had a hand in creating; the moving fortress and the hot spring town

 

[Andigo]

So damn good. I for one think the ending was perfect, though some of the arcs like splitting up felt clunky. If it continued it would be a different story, less angst, and the leads are no longer the same people introspecting on the same personal issues. A few more episodes would be fine, one for Metia maturing, one for Youthanasia rocking more grotesque, but it neither overstayed its welcome nor had too few.

Metia's slightly underwhelming origin and the partners dying off-page before their country exploded in population and made it big are ideal for a story about anticlimax!
Clunky storytelling is somehow part of the charm of this author and setting anyhow. That and the roughly equal fanservice that suits it more than detracts from my suspension of disbelief. Hot immortals can dress however.

Even if you don't feel it now, you may look back on this as memorable if not the right end, as the most tonally consistent end, for the repeated anticlimax. Anything too grim, too positive, or too much political power wouldn't fit.

I wish the author had gotten the time they wanted to finish it and not had to rush out the ending
